However, it should be understood that the drawings are illustrative but not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
- With reference to
FIG. 7 first, it is an assembled view showing that the present invention is applied to the LED lamp. The present invention provides a heat-dissipating structure having multiple heat pipes for a LED lamp. TheLED lamp 2 includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED) 20 abase plate 21 for providing the light-emittingdiodes 20 thereon, and alamp cover 22 covering outside thebase plate 21. The heat-dissipating structure is provided in the rear of thelamp cover 22 and adheres to the back of thebase plate 21, thereby to dissipate the heat generated by the light-emittingdiodes 20. - With reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the heat-dissipating structure 1 comprises aseat 10 to be seated and a plurality ofheat pipes 12. - The
seat 10 to be heated can be made of materials having good heat conductivity (such as aluminum or copper) and is formed into a plate body. The bottom surface of theseat 10 to be heated has asurface 100 to be heated for adhering to the back surface of thebase plate 21 of the LED lamp 21 (FIG. 7 ). Thesurface 100 to be heated is substantially a flat surface. On the other hand, the top surface of theseat 10 to be heated has a heat-dissipatingsurface 101 opposing to thesurface 100 to be heated. A plurality of throughholes 102 is provided to penetrate through the heat-dissipating surface 101 and thesurface 100 to be heated. Those throughholes 102 can be distributed in several concentric circles (FIG. 3 ), and the number of the throughholes 102 is consistent with that of theheat pipes 12. - In the present embodiment, each through
hole 102 is a hole penetrating through the heat-dissipating surface 101 of theseat 10 to be heated and thesurface 100 to be heated. In order to make thesurface 100 to be heated adhere to the back surface of thebase plate 21 of theLED lamp 2, aplate 11 to be heated is adhered to thesurface 100 of theseat 10 to be heated. In this way, not only theseat 10 to be heated adheres to the back surface of thebase plate 21 of theLED lamp 2 more easily, but also the contacting area between theseat 10 to be heated and thebase plate 21 of theLED lamp 2 can be increased. - Each above-mentioned
heat pipe 12 has anend 120 to be heated and a condensedend 121 away from theend 120 to be heated. Theend 120 to be heated of eachheat pipe 12 penetrates into the throughhole 102 of theseat 10 to be heated 10 and is brought in thermal contact therewith and connected thereto. The axial direction of theend 120 to be heated of theheat pipe 12 is identical to that of the corresponding throughhole 102 and is substantially perpendicular to the heat-dissipating surface 101. In addition, the bottom of theend 120 to be heated of theheat pipe 12 can be formed into aplane 122 made by machining process, so that it can adhere to theplate 11 to be heated or the bottom surface of each through hole 102 (FIG. 5 ) to increase the contacting area. Thereby, the bottom of theheat pipe 12 can be directly heated. Further, the condensedend 121 of eachheat pipe 12 expands outwardly with the center of the heat-dissipating surface 101 as a center of circle. In this way, theends 120 to be heated of theheat pipes 12 can be heated in a concentrated manner. On the contrary, the condensed ends 121 are distributed to expand outwardly to increase the space for condensing, thereby to facilitate the heat dissipation. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , theseat 10 to be heated can be also formed of stacking vertically a plurality ofslice plate bodies plate body plate body end 120 to be heated of eachheat pipe 12 by pressing, thereby to reduce the difficulty in penetration. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , each throughhole 102 arranged on theseat 10 to be heated can be a blind hole, which penetrates from the heat-dissipatingsurface 101 of theseat 10 to be heated into theseat 10 to be heated without penetrating therethrough. Thus, it is not necessary to adhere theplate 11 to be heated onto thesurface 100 to be heated, and the flatness of thesurface 100 to be heated can be still maintained. In this way, the degree of adhering and the contacting area between thesurface 100 to be heated and thebase plate 21 of theLED lamp 2 can be increased. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the profile of theend 120 to be heated of eachheat pipe 12 corresponds to that of the corresponding throughhole 102. Each throughhole 102 of theseat 10 to be heated can be formed into a non-circular shape. The non-circular shape can be polygonal, oval or other geometric shape. Alternatively, the profile of the through hole may be provided with at least one flat surface. Since the circular profile of the through hole lets the heat pipe to rotate therein and thus causes the difficulty in positioning or fixing theheat pipe 12 and the throughhole 102, such problem can be prevented by using the through hole having non-circular profile. In the present embodiment, theend 120 to be heated of eachheat pipe 12 is formed into a flat pipe to correspond to the profile of the throughhole 102. - Therefore, with the above structure, the heat-dissipating structure having multiple heat pipes for a LED lamp can be achieved.
- According to the above, as shown in
FIG. 7 , the characteristic of the present invention lies in that theheat pipes 12 are provided upright on theseat 10 to be heated, so that the number of the heat pipes arranged within the limited area of the heat-dissipatingsurface 101 of theseat 10 to be heated can be raised to a maximum. Further, since eachheat pipe 12 is provided upright, it is not necessary to bend the heat pipe into a U-lettered or L-lettered shape, so that the risk of reducing the performance of theheat pipe 12 caused by bending can be eliminated. With the above arrangement, it becomes much easier to assemble eachheat pipe 12 with theseat 10 to be heated. Therefore, the manufacturing process also becomes easier so as to reduce the amount of the solder. Of course, thecondensed end 121 of eachheat pipe 12 can be also provided with a plurality of heat-dissipatingfins 3 in common to facilitate thecondensed end 121 of eachheat pipe 12 to perform the heat dissipation. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 8 andFIG. 9 , aflange 103 protrudes horizontally and outwardly from the outer edge of theseat 10 to be heated. With this arrangement, the heat-dissipating structure 1 can be locked or engaged with theLED lamp 2 by fixing theflange 103 with any suitable fixing elements (not shown). Alternatively, theflange 103 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 104, so that ascrew 105 can penetrate into eachscrew hole 104 and is locked on thebase plate 21 of theLED lamp 2. With the above arrangement, the heat-dissipating structure 1 and theLED lamp 2 can be combined with each other. - Further, as shown in
FIG. 10 , the edge of each throughhole 102 of theseat 10 to be heated 10 can be provided with asmall hole 106. When theend 120 to be heated of eachheat pipe 12 penetrates into each throughhole 102, theseat 10 to be heated can be erected laterally (that is, eachheat pipe 12 is arranged horizontally) so that thesmall hole 106 of each throughhole 102 is located at an upper position. Then, a heat-conducting medium such as heat-conducting paste or solder is injected into eachsmall hole 106, so that the heat-conducting medium flows into the gap between theend 120 to be heated of theheat pipe 12 and the throughhole 102. Finally, theseat 10 to be heated and eachheat pipe 12 can be connected to each other by welding. - According to the above, the present invention indeed achieves the desired effects by employing the above-mentioned structure. Therefore, the present invention has novelty and inventive steps and completely conforms to the requirements for a utility model patent.
- Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various equivalent variations and modifications can still be occurred to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
